From an interview in November to his talk at the combine, the Buckeyes' QB has stated his own case for what could make him the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
“I think college football isn’t like the NFL,” Stroud said in November as we sat on a bench inside Ohio State’s indoor practice field in the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. “The NFL is more like that, where as a quarterback you have to solve a lot of problems before they happen. And honestly, I take pride in doing that because it makes the coaches’ jobs easier.
But he also hit one of the biggest throws of his career against a blitz to former walk-on Xavier Johnson in the opener against Notre Dame last season. “It literally happened like I thought it would,” Stroud said with a smile. “It was pretty cool. That wasn’t what we thought was gonna happen from a play call, but me being who I am, I always prepare for other situations.”
Young’s question is his height, something he can’t do anything about. He’s a smooth, poised and nimble passer, but he can’t grow between now and the end of April, so he’s the 5-foot-10 he measured at the combine and that’s it. His skill is immense, but Young can’t change his stature.
